Chicken thighs or chicken breast?

In this One pot chicken recipe I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast. But you can easily make it into a chicken breast recipe.The meat of the chicken thighs is more tender and juicy than chicken breast, I prefer this one. If you like to have a nice bite, just take chicken breast.

Tips for success for your Slimming World chicken recipe

  1. I would try and get as much colour on the chicken in the browning process because chicken thighs can look a bit dull and grey if you leave this process out.
  2. I have stated 300 ml of chicken stock (I use 1 stock cube) but this will depend on the pan you use, if you use gas or electricity and how fast your simmer rate is. If the sauce looks too dry towards the end of cooking time – add more water.
  3. If there is too much liquid – take the lid off and simmer for a couple more minutes until you get the correct consistency.
  4. How spicy do you like it?  This is a difficult one to put down in a recipe because there are so many different varieties of chillies out there. I use a medium strength chilli but if you’re not sure then try with one less and add more the next time you make it.

Keeping leftovers

You can keep leftovers of your dish in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it with no problem. Use freezer-safe containers.
